And it consists of almost making out with Ricky Martin in a new music video for the song "Adrenalina" which is a solo effort from Puerto Rican artist Wisin of the group Wisin Y Yandel. That's great and all, but all I can see is tongue tongue tongue Ricky Martin's tongue. »3/04/14 10:20am 3/04/14 10:20am

Every year, freshman at Stanford University, their high school nerdstink still clinging to their strategically selected college reinvention outfits, gather on a quad to be ushered into the prestigious school's community by polite, consent-seeking upperclassmen. You'd think the tradition — known colloquially as the… »11/01/13 5:00pm 11/01/13 5:00pm

Trains are often thought of as romantic places; in trains, beautiful humans have intrigues and kiss each other and cry and eat croissants or whatever. Subways, though, are different story. Subway travel is train travel's depraved little brother who owns The Wicker Man (Nic Cage version) on Blu-ray and pees in a… »9/20/13 2:40pm 9/20/13 2:40pm

"What do the French call French kissing?" is a question you might ask if you think you're extremely clever. The answer, until today, was literally nothing. There was no French word for it. Just like in 1984, the French were denied knowledge of the concept via their inability to name it. Until today, amorous… »5/30/13 11:35am 5/30/13 11:35am

Before the youth of America fooled around at drive-ins and necked on Lover's Lane, they coupled in canoes. Boatloads of them. In the early 1900s, canoes offered randy young guys and gals a means of escape to a semi-private setting, away from the prying eyes of their pious Victorian chaperones. »7/06/12 3:20pm 7/06/12 3:20pm

A 15-year-old Emirati boy has been sent to a juvenile detention center for up to three years after being discovered sucking face with two sisters.

One minister has come up with a novel way to both keep church from being boring and keep the spice alive in the marriages of his parishioners: have them make out in front of the rest of the congregation. Yes, these Sunday morning sexytimes are part of Pastor Maurice Johnson's sermon at Winners Church in Queens, or,… »11/20/11 4:35pm 11/20/11 4:35pm

Have you ever thought—really thought—about kissing? We take our mouths, which are generally used for eating and talking, and put them up against the mouths of others, and then move our lips and tongues around for awhile while keeping our eyes closed. Sometimes, when we're teenagers, we do it for hours and hours. And… »9/25/11 12:44pm 9/25/11 12:44pm

The tenth anniversary of 9/11 was an unwise day for an in-flight romantic adventure, as a couple learned yesterday. After their frequent trips to the bathroom raised suspicions on a Frontier Airlines flight, the FBI was called to investigate suspicious behavior and two fighter jets took to the skies to monitor the… »9/12/11 10:50am 9/12/11 10:50am

I love making out. Everyone loves making out. Unless it's with your sister—that's gross! And illegal! But there's a lot more going on behind the scenes of a smooch than just spit-swapping: brain chemicals flow! Bacteria goes nuts!»5/18/11 1:20pm 5/18/11 1:20pm

XKCD unlocks the complex "Base" system with an in-depth map that lays out, once and for all, exactly how to score a makeout session. Like love and baseball, it's subject to interpretation. [BoingBoing] »2/06/09 4:20pm 2/06/09 4:20pm

A judge recently threw out the case against a young, married couple who were picked up by Indian police for public kissing near a railway station. And apparently, such arrests aren't that uncommon. »2/06/09 3:20pm 2/06/09 3:20pm

A Memphis high school principal publicly outed a bunch of gay kids when she posted a list of couples teachers had told her were "known couples" in hopes of shaming them out of making out in the hallways. And yes, that is mindbogglingly outrageous — as opposed to merely "sad," which is how I characterized it before I… »5/02/08 4:00pm 5/02/08 4:00pm

OMG new obvious study alert! Evolutionary Psychology just published a study of 1,000 subjects who declare water to be wet! Ha ha ha no kidding, course, though there's a wetness/saliva angle to this one; so here goes. Bad kissers do not get laid as much. About sixty percent of some group of people who are probably… »12/04/07 4:20pm 12/04/07 4:20pm
